JUST IN: Democrats have flipped a Trump+9 seat in the New Hampshire House, per reporter Kevin Landrigan.
Republicans outspent Dems by a considerable margin.
This is now the 10th special election flip for Ds in Trump's second term, versus zero for the GOP. sos.tn.gov/elections/20...
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."
Thank you! Loved the Lady Julia and Nicholas Brisbane cameo.
Stuck in my room with Covid.
On the bright side one of my favorite authors @deannaraybourn.bsky.social has a new book A Ghastly Catastrophe out this week and I'm loving every minute of it.
Garcia: "I want to just show this image here. This is an image of some kids, including one of Liam Ramos's classmates. These are kids that are being held at detention facilities."
NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

It shouldn’t be harder for a woman to register to vote than a man…
Intolerable abuse of people here legally by our own government.
I will not bend the knee in the face of lawless threats and rank weaponization — I will keep doing my job and upholding my oath to our Constitution.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
“I should not be worried every single day checking my dad and my mother’s location just to make sure they are safe,” one student said. “I shouldn’t have to worry that my father will be deported because he has an accent.”

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...
Federal agents deployed tear gas on thousands of union members, families, and community members while we protested peacefully today.
This was an attack on working people and an unacceptable escalation from federal agents in Portland.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.
Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history.
“There was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.”

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Amanda Gorman: “Fear not those without papers, but those without conscience.”
Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.
Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA.
He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.
A group of Buddhist monks is getting viral attention with their 2,300-mile Walk for Peace from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C.

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?
Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.
“Honestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.”
We’re failing our kids. A gun-sick nation. 🇺🇸 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
As we remember the Sandy Hook shooting today, as I reflect on how we have failed our children by failing to do more since then, as I sit here thinking about my daughter Jaime & all victims of gun violence, my only question is when will this country have had enough?
